Publisher's Synopsis
This is a collection of Edgar Allan Poe's timeless works presented in a font based on characters found in multiple manuscripts by the famed writer. Much love and care was devoted to ensure that every word appears handwritten with nuance of ink, style, and flow with as many as four sets of letter variants rotated throughout the text. Even fading of occasional letters was applied to add to the realism of the calligraphy. These stories have appeared in hundreds of adaptations, but no other publication delivers such an intimate connection to the beloved author as in the artful pages of this book. Selected stories and poems were specifically chosen that reflect Poe's deep-rooted fears of the fury of nature, the heartbreak of betrayal, and the inevitability of death. Printed on creme paper for an authentic ink on parchment appearance, text is in large, bold print for easy reading. Included are classics such as The Pit and the Pendulum, The Raven, and even restored original manuscripts like Annabelle Lee.
